So, I guess everyone is happy that the RDCW is dead.

There are about ten real people who were controlling twice that many NPCs before the RDCW went down. Where are those people now? You can't be happy to have lost your bragging rights! Show yourselves! This place used to be fun. Now it's a grave yard. Looks like Darth won in the end, since Grimm is no longer around either. The Dark Days are truly upon us.

Isnt it amazing that someone disapears from the board for months, then comes back and starts trying to run things again!

Nowie, I don't want to run things, I want things to run. There is a difference. Why is it every time someone tries to do something positive you take insult to it? Did it occur to you that I left the RDCW for a time because I needed to come up with some fresh ideas? Problem is, when I finally did come up with something, the RDCW decided to kill itself.
Sammitch, I PMed Doc, he won't do anything until he sees some response from us. All of us, I think.

Gob forbid Nowhereman thinks I'm trying to run anything  , I offer up some suggestions for discussion: I think our biggest problem is that Convolution was never completed. Well, I think that's a symptom of our biggest problem, actually. I think our biggest problem is that we tried to produce a weekly event. I think Havoc should go biweekly, with pay-per-view events occurring bimonthly. With Havoc starting on a Tuesday night, there should be a week for everyone to get their promos in, with the thread being locked the following Monday night. Then, there should be a week to get recaps written up, with all recaps posted the following Monday night, two weeks after Havoc goes up. I think our biggest problem has been a lack of time for some of our participants to write up both a promo and a recap. This way, there are two weekends available, and maybe that means Spamm can be a regular. That said, before we come up with a reason why we haven't been on the air for months, I think Convolution needs to be completed. I think that's where we need to sort of continue from. I don't think there should be any new regimes when we return, just the Otaku, the IV, the SDC (or whatever Sammitch chooses to call them), and the tag teams. If anyone wants to introduce something new (like myself), that's cool too. We can make up some stuff that happened while we were off the air, or we can just say that there was a screw up with the accounting and continue with few changes. Finally, I think we should build towards Matrimony, a PPV designed to do three things. First, there needs to be a wedding, so I think Killconey and Sweet Marlene should get married live on PPV. Second, I think there should be a match to unite the Y belt with the Hardcore Poon belt, leaving only the Y Division in it's wake. Third, I think the Cheese belt should be united with the Cunt belt. On a side note, I think JLA, the Cheese belt holder, should for some reason think that he's having a match to unite the Cheese belt with the Boobie belt, because obviously the highest men's championship title can only be united with the highest women's belt. In reality, that's wrong, but it's JLA, and I'm sure he can make it work very well for a few weeks leading up to the event. I think fewer titles will force creative non-title feuds and put more emphasis on what the titles stand for, especially since JLA only puts up his title at PPVs, which would be every two months. Now, I cannot stress enough that these are merely suggestions being suggested to promote discussion about the future of the RDCW. I am not trying to run things, even if I do send some suggestive PMs to some of the people involved. The success of the RDCW has always been dependant on communication, so I'm trying to promote some of that. Thoughts?

As I told you in your PM, Penwing, there are real people behind the characters of killconey and sweetmarlene. I don't think they would want something as personal as their real-life wedding being used as a plot device. As far as converging the titles, your ideas sound good, but it can't be too abrupt. And I think we need to resolve a lot of stuff to bridge the big gap of inactivity before we can move forward too much. I still think we can pull off a weekly Havoc by keeping all the NPCs and being sure to mix up the schedules enough to keep from overloading the same writers every week. Keep the monthly PPV, it's good, with bimonthly title shots. First things first, we need to sort out the different faction changes, which is almost its own Havoc in and of itself. More on that after I finish my quesadílla.

As I said in the PM, just fishing for ideas, I don't mean to hurt anyone.

Sure it can. We lost funding and the bank wants two titles back. There, explained away.

We were off the air. We could come up with a whole plot that took place in house shows, but that takes a lot of work. I think it's simpler to play the money angle. Just my opinion. Plus this way we can just come back however we want, with little to know explanation. I do think we need a completed Convolution so we have something to work off of.

I disagree. I think we'd get full participation (not just promos but also match write ups) if we went biweekly. When I was heavily involved in the writing, I spent a lot more time than I would have liked writing other people's matches because I wanted things to flow. I wanted a story. Grimm and Joe will probably agree that no one wants to write someone else's match. I think time is a major factor as this is just a hobby. It's a really fun, creative hobby, but just a hobby. I bet you would get all of your writing in if you only had to worry about a promo one week, and a recap the next. I even wonder if Spamm, who spends most of his time preparing his classes at this time of year, would be able to handle one writing assignment a week instead of two. I'll have to PM him to find out, I guess. People have lives, as you well know, so lets spread the shows out over two weeks so that we can actually complete them without getting burned out.

If that's what you want to do first, that's fine, it's something to do. I will be introducing a new tag team, but I don't want to say anymore until I get the chance to post them in Havoc. I'm still trying to come up with a good way to introduce them.
I love the Otaku, and right now Grimm shares the tag title with their leader, Evil Wrestler Johnny. Will that change when we return? NotWedge, Grimm, what are your thoughts?
The Outcasts are great, but it would be nice to hear from Chris Oakley about his ideas to move forward with the RDCW since he has always been a heavy contributor.
The official word on PenWing is that injuries have forced him into retirement. I'd like to leave it at that, with no further comment. I have no problem with SM, CS, CW and KC keeping the SDC name, but I am thinking that maybe they should have a group name centered around their characters instead of around my old ideas, especially since I no longer have anything to do with them. That means a little work for you, Sammitch, sorry.
The IV are cool, and we need them, but they need to be IV, not V. I think that could be resolved at Convolution, or it could be an unsaid thing when the IV roll out as IV when we return. JLA, Joe Mama, what do you think?
We have a great group of NPC's that anyone can use at any time. They include the Liberal Conspiracy, Homland Security, the OC, Punch-Counter Punch, the Playaz Club, and I'm sure there are others. They can be used in singles or tag team matches by anyone who wants to build up their characters, or by anyone who wants to remain active while not having a live feud.
Doc won't do anything until we fix the RDCW. He wants us, the participants, to set the rules of how this thing will work, and commit to them. He won't even comment until he sees some reponse, so if we want to get this thing rolling again, we'll need to reach out to the others and bring them here.

Here's a suggestion to explain away the absence: The Board of Directors were (was?) so upset by the retirement of me, the GREATEST RDCW CHAMPION EVAAAAHHHH, that they took the show off the air.

I'm trying man, I really am. I wish you would chime in about my thoughts on going biweekly. Of course it would help if NotWedge, Joe Mama, Spamm, Nowhereman, Captain Sammitch, and Chris Oakley all chimed in a bit and added something positive to the conversation. I think we have enough people to run this thing, and I think we have enough wrestlers since most of us have been writing at least one alter ego from the start.
I think we need to shrink the titles down, but first I think we need to finish Convolution so that we have a jumping on point. If I was a part of Convolution, I'd be tempted to finish it myself, but I was taking a break from here, so I can't do that.

It's not my responsibility anymore. I've done it longer than anyone else. It's everyone else's turn.

Here's an idea. Forget about how to start it up. The storyline doesn't make much of a difference in my mind at this point. The important part is that more than three or four people are dedicated to starting it back up. That involves more than "Gee, I had fun! Let's do it again!" If people want this to happen then send Doc a match idea. When he gets enough matches, he'll post a Havoc (I would think). Everyone's so busy talking about how many times a month there should be a Havoc, how many titles there should be, and other pieces of minutae that nobody's noticed that it's the same few people talking.
Grimm's gone.
Oakley's gone.
SPAMM/Charlie's gone.
That's a sizeable amount of contribution to make up for. Nowhereman's noncommital (it seems, correct me if I'm wrong), and MisterJLA has been noticeably quiet. So who are the contributors? Doc? Me? Brad? Sammitch (who, no offense, Phil, but you're doing the same thing you did when the RDCW was active - making commitments and not following up for whatever reason)? Snarf? In my mind, this ain't gonna work unless we get at least 10 people who are ALL working together to make this work. And I don't see it happening.
I'm more than willing to do a full reboot. Have one big tourney to decide who gets the "World" title (whomever wins), who gets the second tier title (whomever comes in second), and build from there. From there work storylines - what happened to the RDCW, etc. But, in my mind, the old factions need to go for now - the IV doesn't exist and the SDC is one guy writing for 4+ people (a recipe for disaster).
Sorry to come off as seemingly negative. I'm being realistic.

And I thank you for the suggestions. So let's do this. I'd like to introduce the Masked Avengers, a new tag team of Brad Lee and The Archer. If we're going to throw everyone into a melting pot, then lets do that. I'm going tag. Let's keep the Allied Powers in tag. Let's keep the Outsiders in tag. Look, it's a three way tag match for the titles.
That's my suggestion. I think if the card goes up, JLA and Oakley will post. Unless Oakley really is gone, in which case it's just the Allied Powers vs. the Masked Avengers in their debut RDCW match after tearing up the indie ciruit all summer.
Joe Mama vs. Sammitch vs. Nowereman vs. Notwedge for the Cheese belt.
Hiro vs. Killconey vs. Snarf for the Y belt.
If we want a women's division, Lor and Elisa have posted in the past, so Lor vs. Elisa vs. Ramada for the Boobie Belt.
That's a card right there consisting of contributors.
I say we go biweekly and PM vote. If you don't vote, you have no say. If you don't post a promo during the first week, you lose your match no matter the voting outcome. The voting and promo deadline is Sunday night. The recap deadline is the following Sunday night. If a poster doesn't send in a recap he has no say in the outcome of the match, and whoever does take charge can do what he wants with the plot for that match. If he wants to be generous and make them look good, fine. If he wants to make them look like fools for not coming through, even better.

Go to Writer's Block and poke around, then ask Prometheus if the cure for a group dying for lack of participation is to reboot/Ultimate it back into existence forcibly. I agree with you that all those angles need to be resolved, but I'm the one writing my faction - let me decide if it needs to stay or go. If the quantity of my posts turns out to be unsatisfactory to you, then do whatever you think is best with me and my characters.

That's a pretty good card. Your efforts are the most fruitful when you're assembling cards. Story arcs are everyone's responsibility. Plus quantity of participation does not supersede quality of participation. If you wanna sum up my argument in one sentence use that one.

That system works. You are very good at coming up with ideas here and there. Let's all hammer out our ideas together if this is gonna happen. You wanted my attention, you got it. Let's do this.

Leave me out of it for right now. I've got work, I'm back in school, I'm gaming on a semi-regular basis, and let's not forget the weekly karaoke/binge drinking.
Besides, the Y division title? That is SO beneath me. I was World Champ dammit! Unlike Kevin Nash, I have the decency to refuse to job to BEFORE getting heavily involved in the angle!

Yes, you've said who you'd write and that you'd write them. But you've done that in the past and people wait for your input...and they wait...and they wait. You've had a tendency to procrastinate and/or, sometimes, not follow through at all. That's what I said, that's ALL I said. If you're making a commitment now, great. All I'd ask is that you make a better effort to follow through than you've done at points in the past.
Having said that, I never even mentioned your father's passing except to offer my condolences, so please don't throw that in my face. It's dirty pool. Neither I nor anyone here said anything about expecting you to put any RDCW or Writer's Block stuff over your real life. That's not what I was talking about and you damn well know it.
As for your position about a reboot...I don't know what goes on in Writer's Block and, as I never posted there and wouldn't know where to start looking, I don't care. The fact of the RDCW is that a good-sized chunk of its regular contributors are gone, which greatly affects a lot of storylines. I don't like the idea of having the same factions as before because AT LEAST half of mine is gone, yours is you plus whoever you write, and Brad's is himself plus whoever he writes. It's still only a few people plus whoever we make up, and I don't think that works - or do you want to pretend that you thought/think Oakley's faction creation was, in retrospect, actually a good idea? Furthermore, I can barely remember the storylines that were in the middle of being written but I'm sure the loss of people and the time away will adversely affect any attempt to continue them. So I suggested the full reboot. That's my opinion. Don't like it? Fine, that's yours. In the end, I stand by my positions that:
1) we need a minimum of ten people regularly contributing
2) the old doesn't work after months away and so many people gone
3) the best way to start this up again is to start it up fresh and have far fewer singles belts and, for now, no tag belts
I'm more than willing to move away from those positions if someone wants to make a compelling case, but I can't say I've seen one so far.

Agreed. I thought we had that before it all fell apart.

A reboot is fine with me.

Cheese, Y, Tag, Boobie. Those are the belts I want to keep. We have a solid group of tag npcs we can use, so it would be nice to have a belt a real poster can win. Cheese is our heavyweight title. Y is our extreme wrestling title. Boobie goes without saying.
Sammitch has a good trio of guys and a girl in his faction, and he has done a pretty good job of keeping them all involved. Plus, there is a tag team in there.
JLA's Allied Powers team with Captain Howdy was always a favorite of mine.
What happened to Jeremy and BPT? They both started contributing for a bit and then disappeared.
Putting together a card is easy, the concern is that it will get a response. That's why I want to hammer out the rules for how we work from week to week. I think going biweekly would be best because we all have things to do.

I asked if someone would just put me and my guys on the damn card. I told you who I'd write, and I told you I'd write them. What the hell else do you want from me? To deliver the entire content of every planned post before I post it? I mean I wanna do this. We haven't had an AIM chat (I'm opening AIM as I type this to make sure you guys aren't all online without me), I only got that PM from Penwing... what's goin on? I know I've had trouble with follow-through in the past, but I'm doing the best I can reasonably do. I mean I've been in counseling with my minister almost since my dad died, and I will be for a while longer - as much as I like the RDCW, it's not the main thing I'm losing sleep over. Sorry to be an obstacle, but there it is.
Maybe next time you're talking with your minister, he can help you with you using your dad's death as an excuse for everything. No disrespect to your father or your family. This is all about you. I really was sad about your lose, but you throwing it out as an excuse for things you had problems with before his death saddens me even more. There was no need to bring it up, yet you felt you had to use it to defend yourself from any form of criticism about your record of participation here in this forum. Just face the fact that you aren't as willing or able to put as much work into this as you claim and tell us. Don't make up excuses. Don't lay blame where it doesn't belong. And hurry up on that quesadilla.
All I've asked is that the people here who want to do this work with each other to get it going. That not only means just concentrating on what you want to do with your characters. That means talking with other posters and coming up with feuds and angles. I've asked that from the start, and no one has given me shit in regards to it. I've seen a lot of talk about rules, scheduling, and voting which is all fine and good. Those need to continue. But those aren't shit if you're not doing a damn thing about what you're going to do when that gets up and running. With just a few clicks of a mouse and strokes of the keyboard, anyone here can get the RDCW going again. You've just all haven't.

I wasn't attempting to use that as an excuse for my poor follow-up. I have no need for excuses or passing blame. I know I'm not very good at follow-up in this forum. I'm trying to point out that there's a different reason I've been having trouble sticking with it this time. That and I really didn't want to just lay out everything I have planned way in advance. That and I honestly haven't finished coming up with a particular plan. I'm still working on it, okay? I actually have a day off today, so gimme a little while and I will try to come up with some more things.

Actually I need to go get my paycheck, so I will probably be back in an hour to 90 minutes. We'll talk.

Two other people using the shower before I could get to it... not cool. This is what happens when you rent from a big family. Anyway, I'm just now going to get my check (here's hoping it clears by Sunday), but I'll tell you what I have so far. I haven't picked a favorite new name or theme for my faction yet, but I know who all the major players will be. - Captain Sammitch - contender for just about any title out there.
- Chewy Walrus - major muscle, Y Division contender, hardcore contender (if it's sticking around), heavyweight contender in the near future.
- Killconey - same old high-flying maniac. Y contender, possible hardcore contender.
- Sweet Marlene - manager, not planning on stepping into the ring as often as Meeko (Killconey doesn't want her getting hurt), but pretty good with showmanship and playing head games with the opposition.
- [surprise]Harleykwin[/surprise] - said on the phone not too long ago that if RDCW starts back up she would like being in my faction and would be able to contribute reasonably often.
We have a number of tag possibilities in this bunch - Sammitch/Chewy works, Chewy/Killconey works, Marlene/Harley works - and they're all pretty good ones. I will have new names for moves and such as soon as I decide on a good faction name and theme. Still gonna be a face faction, not quite as much of a babyface faction though. Chewy, Killconey, and Harley can make plenty of mayhem, and they're not gonna be as lenient as Sammitch might - though my character isn't gonna be quite as much of a babyface either. For the first card, I don't necessarily need Sammitch going for the title just yet - I haven't had a chance to build up to it like I want to - but hopefully there'll be a shot in the near future. Killconey is good for that Y belt. Whenever Harley is free to post in here, she can decide whether she wants a shot at the women's belt. I can get reasonable amounts of feedback and ideas from all these people. So far it's still me (and probably Harley) typing it all out, but Killconey has expressed interest in learning the nuances of writing matches, and I'm sure Chewy will supply some good ideas over the phone. I'm gonna go get my check now and see if it'll clear in time. I may have more for you when I get back. Oh, and I need to grab another quesadílla. That last one was bitchin'.

Correction - Harley said it's not gonna work out. She may or may not be able to participate in the RDCW at all. I'll work on scrounging up more participants when I get the chance. Count on the other four though.

I propose a feud between the the mysterious Masked Avengers and the evil Allied Powers centering around the tag titles. Or, a feud with the evil Outsiders, if that is preferred. Or, a feud with tag champs EWJ and Grimm, assuming they are still tag champs. If not, than maybe a feud with the evil Otaku. I am prepaired to start talking feud with anyone when a card goes up and I see the Masked Avengers in a match. If someone wants to feud with me, let me know, and I'll start working angles. I have some ideas, and since they are the Masked Avengers, eventually someone will want to unmask them. I'll be happy to work a long term plan out with anyone who wants to talk shop. Being the new guys, I'm not quite sure how they fit in to the big picture just yet. I just know that this is a face tag team, but it will fight anyone, even another face, if that means the tag titles. I'll get a profile up when I see a point to it.
On a side note, for me, it would be easier to go biweekly, so I will keep pushing for that.

Okay, Doc. I fired off a PM to Oakley with a suggestion for a feud. I also suggested something to Sammitch. Anyone else have any suggestions not including the ever popular "Fuck Off!"?

Hopefully it's not another of Oakley's alt-ids.
